The opportunity to observe at Miami Cardiovascular Institute via the SIR Early Career Visiting Pilot Program was a useful opportunity for my personal career and for my academic practice. It was enlightening to see the structure of a large and sub-specialized private practice in the IR field.

Through this program, I was able to observe the end result of diligent practice building and successful practice growth. I learned how an outpatient facility can fit into a larger medical system and some of the many nuances of the communication between these facilities and larger hospital networks - including the direct interface between the referring physicians and the interventionalists.
